OF three lots. The college exercises were
commenced Sunday aight. at which time
Rev. Geo. l.. Leyburn, of your city, preached
an able discourse before a large audience.
The sermon was we'll prepared and we'll de-
livered and was calculated to set the nearer
to thinking. The singing was fine. Beside
the regular choir singing q sextet was sung
by ladies. and a quartet by gentlemen, both
ct which were well rendered. On Monday
night the primary department, presented their
exercises to a packed house. The little fell.
lows were fully up to the timei aud did well.
We may speak further of the school next
week. MIR. R. T. Russell, of this place. re-
ceiyed a letter from Col, Dennis0,, pI resident
of the NJ. e. & X. r. R., on Moriay, stating
that he would be here in about two weeks.
that the road would be built, and not TO be
discouraged. We have only to live and
hope. Odessa is prospecting and all seem
IN better spirits now thar Or two
